The Student Union was somewhat surprised to receive the message from Manager Xu.

Originally, Manager Xu sponsored their school's competition and did not ask about the competition.

They thought that the other party was not interested in the school competition and was sponsoring the competition only out of kindness.

I originally sent the file to the other party, not expecting a response. Unexpectedly, the other party not only agreed to participate in the competition, but also used the recommendation quota.

"Mu Sheng? Why does this name sound familiar?" The boy muttered to himself in response to the message.

The little boy who was helping with the work came over when he heard Mu Sheng's name.

His face was full of disbelief: "How is this possible? Did she really find a spot?"

If Mu Sheng were here, he would definitely recognize that this short boy was the one that Mu Sheng had told him not to worry about.

After Mu Sheng was satisfied, he thought about taking care of the shop.

Manager Xu and Mu Sheng talked about the recent sales of Youyu. There are not many Youyu jewelry left in the store.

Mu Sheng then remembered the batch of second-level ghost jade he had brought to Yan Beichen before.

After Mu Sheng finished talking to Manager Xu, he called Yan Beichen.

When Yan Beichen heard Mu Sheng asking about the Level 2 Nether Jade, he thought of Li Xiu'an blocking the masters all day long, and quickly said, "The thing has been processed. I'll send someone to deliver it to you."

After hearing this, Mu Sheng thanked him, hung up the phone and started preparing for the competition.

When the Level 2 Nether Jade arrived, Mu Sheng was drawing the design. After hearing Lu Ming say the jewelry had arrived, Mu Sheng took some time off to visit the shop.

Lu Ming came to the school gate to pick someone up, so Mu Sheng didn't spend too much time there.

Mu Sheng looked at the accessories he brought and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the masters in Yan Beichen's company.

The person sent by Yan Beichen personally handed the things to Mu Sheng, and left only after confirming that there were no problems.

Mu Sheng handed the jewelry to Manager Xu and others for arrangement, and left some for Xia Wan so that she could take it away when she came to the store next time.

She told Manager Xu not to disturb her unless they had something to do during this period, as she needed to prepare for the competition.

On the other side, Li Xiu'an came to Yan Beichen's company again and came to the place where the masters were processing jewelry.

The masters were preparing to leave work. Li Xiu'an stared at the machine, looking around frequently, but he didn't see Youyu no matter how hard he tried.

Li Xiu'an stopped one of the masters and said, "Master Li, is it time to get off work?"

Master Li looked at Li Xiu'an as if he was guarding against a thief. It was this guy who sneaked into the room last time and stole the fragments of the second-level ghost jade from the machine. He couldn't let this guy in again this time.

Seeing that Master Li ignored him, Li Xiu'an didn't get angry. He continued to ask Master Li with a smile: "Master Li, where did you get that new batch of Youyu jade last time? I just happen to be researching Youyu jade recently."

Master Li didn't want to pay attention to him, but this guy kept sticking to him. Master Li lost his patience and said angrily: "Only Mr. Yan knows the source of this thing. It's useless for you to ask us."

"Are those ghost jades still there?" Li Xiu'an thought about the last time he didn't ask Yan Beichen for the ghost jade, so he planned to try again this time.

Master Li shook his head: "Mr. Yan has taken the things away."

"What? Taken away? Where did they go?" Li Xiu'an didn't expect that his things were taken away by Yan Beichen just for one day after he didn't come.

Without waiting for Master Li's answer, Li Xiu'an went directly to Yan Beichen's office.

Yan Beichen had just hung up the phone when he saw an angry man pushing the door open. He knew what was going on without having to think about it.

It was he who took the second-level ghost jade and gave it to Mu Sheng when Li Xiu'an was away.

When Li Xiu'an entered the office and saw Yan Beichen's expression, he knew that this guy did it on purpose. He sat down opposite Yan Beichen with anger.

"Do you know that Youyu is very important to me and is very valuable for research?"

"Know"

"Knowing that you still—"

"Someone has to protect the safety of the holder of the Phantom Jade, so I cannot reveal any information about the Phantom Jade to you."

"No wonder I couldn't find out. Was it the Yan family who did it?"

Yan Beichen shook his head: "Yes! And no!"

Li Xiu'an leaned back in his chair, feeling somewhat discouraged. Seeing this, Yan Beichen took out some second-level ghost jade fragments and pushed them in front of Li Xiu'an: "This is the best I can do for you."

Li Xiu'an looked at the second-level ghost jade fragments in front of him, picked them up carefully, and said to Yan Beichen when he left: "Thanks, brother!"

Yan Beichen smiled and shook his head. He only picked up a pen and started to deal with the company's affairs when he could no longer see Li Xiu'an's back.

After leaving, Li Xiu'an did not return to the research institute or his residence, but went to the old house.

Old Master Li didn't expect that his grandson Li Xiu'an would come back, so he waved to Li Xiu'an to play a game of chess with him.

Li Xiu'an sat opposite Mr. Li and helped him get down from the bed.

"What? Something's on your mind?"

Li Xiu'an looked at Mr. Li in confusion.

Mr. Li pointed at the chessboard and said, "In just ten minutes, you've already made two wrong moves in a row."

Li Xiu'an looked over, shrugged helplessly and shook his head: "I still can't hide anything from Grandpa."

The old man took a sip of tea and rubbed the chess piece in his hand.

Li Xiu'an saw this and quickly asked, "Grandpa, I've been researching something recently."

"Youyu."

Li Xiu'an was a little surprised: "Grandpa, how did you know?"

"I also know that you came here this time hoping that I could help you investigate the matter of the Phantom Jade and its owner."

Li Xiu'an stared at his grandfather in a daze, and it took him a while to recover: "So grandpa already knew about Youyu's matter."

Mr. Li smiled and said nothing.

After a game of chess, Mr. Li turned around with his hands behind his back and said faintly, "Don't investigate Youyu's affairs anymore. Focus on your own research."

"But..." Before Li Xiu'an could finish his words, Mr. Li suddenly turned around and his sharp eyes fell on Li Xiu'an.

Li Xiu'an could only shut up and replied respectfully to Mr. Li: "I understand."

Just a moment ago, Li Xiu'an was almost frightened by the old man's eyes.

Old Master Li was much nicer to the younger generations like them. People of his father's generation would tremble when they saw their grandfather.

Since Grandpa and Grandpa Yan retired from their respective war zones, they have all lived in the military compound. They would come back to visit occasionally, but Grandpa didn't often treat him like this.

Li Xiu'an knew that this matter was definitely not simple, and it would be difficult for him to find out any results. He just didn't know whether his grandfather was involved.

But judging from his grandfather's expression, he probably wouldn't tell the truth even if asked. Li Xiu'an left in a hurry after finishing his meal.

As soon as Li Xiu'an left the house, Mr. Li made a phone call, then took a car and secretly left the military compound under the moonlight, and did not return until dawn.
